MOT your multiple - are they here to stay?
Every week, we pick out what we believe will prove a popular weekend multiple and put it to the test, offering another option if we're not convinced that the standout selection is the correct one.
After the midweek schedule, the English domestic campaign is approximately a third complete, and each division currently has a clear leader, so we thought an interesting wager right now might be to bet on the four clubs currently occupying top spot still being there come May.
A four-fold on Chelsea, QPR, Brighton and Chesterfield being crowned champions pays out £85.08 for a £2 outlay, however as always there are a few tweaks that we'd consider making to the multiple.
Chelsea's four-point Premier League advantage is far from unbreachable, especially given Manchester United's reputation for second-half-of-the-season flourishes and the fact the Blues were two points better off at this stage last year, but we think they're looking strong enough to hold on.
In the Championship, there have already been signs that the wheels are coming off at unbeaten QPR, with six of their last eight matches finishing level, and as Cardiff are only a point behind, and in our view have a superior side, we fancy the Bluebirds to be promoted in first place.
There's no question of siding against Brighton in League One, especially as, despite their eight-point lead, the Seagulls are available to back at Coupon odds of [2.75]. Gus Poyet's men haven't lost any of their last dozen games.
League Two is the toughest of all to call, with no outstanding teams and table-toppers Chesterfield tarnished by their late collapse last season that saw them plummet from third to eight. Therefore, we're going to boldly stand by our summer pick Shrewsbury, who are five points off the pace.
Our alternative suggestion of Chelsea, Cardiff, Brighton and Shrewsbury all being title winners provides a delicious profit of £376.76 for the same £2 stake.
